Culinary legend Gordon Ramsay made a surprise appearance at his eponymous restaurant, Gordon Ramsay Bar & Grill, in Manila on Sunday, January 19th, delighting diners with an unexpected encounter.
The news was first announced by the chef himself on Facebook, where he shared a photo of the classic Fish & Chips dish from the restaurant, accompanied by the caption, "Can't wait to serve this to everyone when I'm in the Philippines next week!"
Newport World Resorts later confirmed that Ramsay would be visiting the Philippines for an exclusive media event at the restaurant. However, the chef decided to surprise his Filipino fans with an impromptu visit, much to the delight of patrons dining in.
Ramsay made rounds in the kitchen, greeting his team of chefs before interacting with guests. He stopped at every table, chatting with diners, signing autographs, and taking photos with excited patrons. The restaurant was reportedly packed to capacity during his visit.
News of the surprise encounter quickly spread online, with many diners sharing their experiences on social media. "While eating, some stranger graced our table," wrote Chris, a member of the "Let's Eat Pare" Facebook group, along with a photo of his family with Chef Ramsay.
The Newport Performing Arts Theater will host an exclusive event with Gordon Ramsay on January 20th as part of his visit.
The first Gordon Ramsay restaurant in the Philippines, Gordon Ramsay Bar & Grill PH, opened for business in Newport World Resorts in August 2024. Ramsay's most famous dishes, such as the Beef Wellington and Fish & Chips, are served at the restaurant.
